“Mr. Schmidt has seniority combined with tranquillity and a clear overview. He manages to get organizations to align themselves with him from the board to the working level.”

Thomas Böck
CEO, CLAAS KGaA mbH (Germany)

„I simply want to extend a sincere ‚Thank You‘ for the tremendous contribution you made to our project success. You joined the project team at time of great difficulty that also coincided with a significant restructuring within our Organisation.

I very much appreciated your ability to quickly grasp the big picture, our complex technical environment and processes, on the one hand, while simultaneously building strong and trustful relationships with all necessary stakeholders internally at all levels in our company and with the end Customer.

Your experience, credibility, personal maturity and operating style fitted very well to the specific needs we had. Throughout your assignment, despite many challenges and setbacks, you remained patiently focused on the end goal, exhibiting a high octane energy and performance level and an infectious motivational can do attitude that built team confidence, trust and loyalty.

We are all personally and professionally stronger having had the opportunity to work with you.

I do hope we collaborate again.”

Peter Reilly
Product Line Projects Director, Valeo Ireland

„With his structured approach, Thomas recognized and eliminated the real problems of the product and the project environment in a very short time and thus set standards.

His human skills led to the fact that the teams in different locations and countries, which had previously been at odds with each other, once again worked together constructively and with pleasure in development and production.

This success has restored our reputation with our customer Ford and helped us to win the next generation follow-up order.“

Joe Fadool
President and GM Torque Transfer Systems, Borg Warner Inc. USA

It is fascinating how Thomas manages to break down complex topics from the very beginning, to bring in a clear structure, to create a clean reporting, to explain it and to point out the gaps.

The biggest success was to form and develop a really strong team. This vision was clear from the beginning and we achieved it.

To see how deeply Thomas went into issues, to understand and solve them and to give the team the right help was very, very important.

Steffen Schomann
Senior Project Manager, Valeo Schalter und Sensoren GmbH

“Hello Mr. Schmidt, thank you again for the great cooperation. The success of the project in the end as a serial project is also largely due to you – so thank you very much! It is always nice to meet a great person like you. I really enjoyed working with you.”

Dejan Jovovic
Director, Continental AG

“Thomas was involved in our projects partially as coach, partially as supporting project manager. He was heavily recognized through the entire team per his empathic coaching approach, handling different team member fully individually. I personally enjoyed the open minded discussions not only on how to organize work a little differently but mainly on his matter of heart topic: The interaction of human beings. His method of “coaching by side discussion” is a brilliant example of training on the job. Not pointing to deficiencies, but giving ideas on how to improve.”

Matthias von Schwanewede
ADAS Function Owner Lead, Valeo Schalter und Sensoren GmbH

“LPG system installed, software flashed into the controller and the engine ran on the same day. I don’t think we’ll ever see a project like that again.”

Guido Eckers
Project Manager, FEV GmbH Aachen

“Mr. Schmidt has contributed to the success of this project with his experience, professional appearance and  clear-sighted behavior.
